Chapter 1696 The Overall Situation Has Been Decided

Seeing that it was already early June, Yin Jun also began to prepare for a trip to the United States to join the team.

But it was at this time that the Xiangjiang government finally made a positive official response to the Kirin Group's "Lantau Island Development Plan."

Governor Youde invited Yin Jun and Le Yiling to his office.

The reporters didn't know where they got the news. After waiting eagerly in front of the Governor's Office Building for two hours, they finally arrived with the three people who had already negotiated.

Standing on the small wooden platform erected at the door, Governor Youde spoke into the microphone about the agreement reached between the government and Qilin Group.

In fact, reporters are all smart people. They all know that the Xiangjiang government and Qilin Group have been communicating during this period, including these conditions, which were finally decided after seemingly endless consultations and negotiations.

The reason why Yin Jun and Le Yiling came here today was just for final confirmation.

Once both parties have no objections within the general framework, then an agreement is basically reached.

With such a big political achievement, Governor Yoder of course had to announce it himself.

"Hello, fellow journalists!" Youde spoke very politely amidst the clicking sounds of cameras, "Today I am honored to announce some of the cooperation agreements that have been reached between the Hong Kong government and Kirin Group. intention.

First, the Hong Kong government has decided through discussions to agree to the Kirin Group's "Lantau Island Development Plan." We will sell 25 square kilometers of land on Lantau Island to the Kirin Group at a price of HK$100 per square foot; and in the form of approval, we agree to the Kirin Group to reclaim 5 square kilometers of nearby land, and the environmental protection fee will also be HK$100 per square foot. .

Second, Kirin Group promised the government that it will build a Disneyland with a total area of ​​no less than 600 hectares on Lantau Island within 20 years. The first Disney theme parks opened no later than 1988. At the same time, the Xiangjiang government will inspect and verify the disbursement of Kirin Group every year.

Sini project development status, if there is any discrepancy with the contract, fines will be implemented.

Third, the government also approved the 2.1-square-kilometer development plan for Lam Chau Island, an island near Lantau Island, that Kirin Group applied for at a price of HK$50 per square foot. This development plan can only be used for film shooting and business operations and cannot be used as private property.

Fourth, Kirin Group promised the Hong Kong government that the core of the Lantau Island development plan lies in developing the Hong Kong economy. Therefore, within the next ten years, we will strive to create 200,000 jobs in the Lantau area, including factories, entertainment, theme parks, etc., to make Hong Kong an internationally renowned entertainment and tourism city.

Fifth, the Xiangjiang government will actively carry out the construction of supporting municipal facilities on Lantau Island within the next five years in conjunction with the construction plan of the Kirin Group, as well as the bidding for the construction of bridge transportation between Xiangjiang Island and Lantau Island. Including the construction of the Kirin Park, the entire project is expected to use 50,000 workers and cost more than 200 billion Hong Kong dollars, which will greatly promote the economic recovery and development of Hong Kong. "

Yoder spoke such official language, and the reporters below were nervously taking notes and using their recorders.

Although you can come here, the reporters must be able to understand English. Otherwise, what is it like to come here and not understand it?

But in order to better understand the meaning of the Governor's words, it is also very useful to play the contents of the recorder repeatedly after returning and think about it more.

Everyone also understood that when this battle came out, the discussion must have been almost completed, but several important contents said by the Governor still shocked them.

Many people originally thought that the 30 square kilometers of land owned by the Kirin Group was just a big deal. Maybe after bargaining with the government, they would be satisfied if they could get almost 10 or 15 square kilometers.

But they didn't expect that the government would all agree.

When it was their turn to ask questions, the reporter immediately asked this question, "Mr. Governor, the sale of 30 square kilometers of land is unique in the history of Xiangjiang. Why did you sell it to the Kirin Group? Is it because of that? High land costs?”

Journalists are not fools. In order to get the Xiangjiang government to agree to this condition, in addition to being optimistic about future development, the price is also very important.

Just now Youde said that the price is HK$100 per square foot. Many people thought they heard wrongly.

Given the current economic situation in Xiangjiang and the land price situation, how dare you ask for such an expensive price?

Last year, when the land price had not yet reached the bottom, Yin Jun bought 200 hectares of land in Tin Shui Wai at a price of 70 per square foot. People laughed at him because he wanted to pay taxes to the Hong Kong government as soon as possible, so he subsidized the land that was about to go bankrupt. them.

For now, real estate prices in Xiangjiang are at their lowest, and many newspapers have estimated the price of land on Lantau Island.

According to the normal price, if Yin Jun purchased 15 square kilometers of land, which is 1,500 hectares, if the price is 25 yuan per square foot, then the Xiangjiang government must be eager to develop the economy and attract people at such a low price. Kirin Group develops it earlier.

If it is 50 yuan per square foot, then the Xiangjiang government will make a profit. Not only can it sell the land in the barren mountains and ridges, but it can also make a huge profit.

If it reaches 70 yuan per square foot, which is the same price as the land in Tin Shui Wai last year, Yin Jun is paying for his very large land. After all, if you don't pay more, I'm afraid the Hong Kong government won't sell it to you. .

But no one expected that the Hong Kong government was so evil that it directly sold it for 100 yuan per square foot, and the total price of 30 square kilometers reached 32.3 billion Hong Kong dollars!

It's just like robbery!

Considering that the Kirin Group not only has to cut mountains and land, but also reclaim land from the sea, the entire leveling cost will be at least another 10 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, which is about 3.23 billion Hong Kong dollars - if it encounters particularly complex terrain, I'm afraid the cost will have to increase by hundreds of millions or more.

Therefore, the Kirin Group will have to spend at least 35 billion Hong Kong dollars in basic costs for the entire land.

The basic cost does not include any design, construction, and decoration costs. If these are added, the Kirin Group will not be able to build it without spending 50 to 60 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Kirin Group is definitely not willing to spend so much money. Obviously, this is required by the Xiangjiang government, so they have to spend high prices to purchase land.

Hearing the reporter's question, Youde smiled, "We have actually always had the idea of ​​developing Lantau Island, but we didn't have a good opportunity. But as you said, such a large piece of land can be bought without spending more money. , then won’t our government be scolded by the people for selling land at a low price? Aren’t their various social benefits reduced? "

The reporters were speechless.

Yoder has elevated this matter to the income level of the people, so naturally it is not easy for them to ask further questions.

Otherwise, we are working against the well-being of all people in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Governor, I just heard you say that you are going to build a bridge from Xiangjiang Island to Lantau Island. Will this be the second project similar to the undersea tunnel? Will it be another expensive transportation facility?" Another question the reporter asked.

"There will definitely be a charge." Youde was unambiguous on this point. "After discussing with Qilin Group, our initial plan is from Tsing Yi to the northeastern corner of Lantau Island, which is almost 8 kilometers in length. There will definitely be more in the future. The subway will go directly there, and then it is possible to build a second bridge from Sheung Wan to Silver Mine Bay on Lantau Island, which will be about 15 kilometers in length. This is also a specific work that we will gradually implement in the next few years."

Good guy!

The government is serious this time!

In this way, whether it is cars, buses or subways, with several lines connected, Lantau Island can be a new type of market!

And theoretically speaking, it is much closer from Sheung Wan to Lantau Island than from Sheung Wan to the New Territories!

As long as this line can be opened, as long as Yin Jun can develop Lantau Island well, maybe Lantau Island will be the next Yau Tsim Mong!

Even if you are not in Yau Tsim Mong, it is entirely possible to create a huge exclusive area for leisure and entertainment!

"Ms. Le, I was originally developing Lantau Island, but why did I buy Lanzhou Island on the corner? What are you going to do with such a big island?" Someone also asked Le Yiling next to her.

"Didn't our Arjun write a book called "Jurassic Park"?" Le Yiling said calmly, "He planned to make this book into a movie, so he chose the location first and waited until After the filming is completed, a dinosaur theme park can be built there, which can be considered a new landscape!"

The people next to him suddenly realized.

"Jurassic Park" is a very famous novel, and is even hailed as the best science fiction novel in the past 20 years.

If this drama can be filmed in Xiangjiang, and if it is shot by Yin Jun himself, Lanzhou Island will definitely become a place of pilgrimage for dinosaur fans.

If the layout is more careful and more landscapes are installed, there will be a lot of people just visiting it every day!

Kirin Group really knows how to do business!

Seeing them questioning Youde and Le Yiling, Yin Jun, who was silent on the side, felt a surge of pride in his heart.

Since the Hong Kong government approved the Lantau Island development plan, the position of Qilin Group in Hong Kong has been officially established.

Having a big island to yourself is equivalent to the feeling of owning an island. Not only will you have it, but others will also have it.

This also highlights the status of the Kirin Group, which is simply unshakable.

In the future, Kirin Group will focus on the development of Lantau Island and build it into a large-scale town integrating residence, entertainment, leisure and other aspects. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there are still people living and working on Lantau Island, then Kirin Group’s development in Hong Kong will be The foundation will not fall.

With such a stable rear area, Yin Jun has no worries whether he goes north to the mainland or west to conquer the United States!
